It appears that current management or those with vested interest are whitewashing the company history. Corporate history and management changes are relevant to the context of the company and its subsequent sale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ne-publishing-maven ( talk • contribs) 13:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I am also very interested in learning all the facts of the history of iUniverse Publishing. Back in 2001 I won a premier publishing package, and signed up. I was lucky that I had not finished my manuscript at that time. When I was ready to submit my first draft for viewing, the website was gone. I did a little research then and found page after page after page of links to people complaining that they had been "RIPPED OFF!" by the company. It was everything from royalties fraud to book ideas being stolen and published under different names. I had no way to know what was actually going on, though, because my attempts to contact iUniverse failed. No emails returned. No website to visit (it had been taken offline). No answer on the phone. Now, more then 10 years later, I get a call out of the blue about my publishing package, and I want to know if this company is still a scam, or if things have changed. According to these people (BELOW) nothing has. http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2006/06/ac-crispin-57-iuniverses-publishing.html http://iuniverse.pissedconsumer.com/ [also see: complaints board (dot) come (slash)complaints(slash)iuniverse-c126307.html] http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/Iuniverse.aspx Whatever happened in 2001 may have been a fluke, and the company may be under new management, turning over a new leaf, etc - but there is no way to know that, and a 'whitewashed' article like this one just makes me distrust it more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.165.22.16 ( talk) 02:19, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
IUniverse. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
